We needed to trim back our oak tree and also cut out all the dead branches. I got 4 quotes and not only was Joe the most competitive, but he was also the quickest in responding to my queries and answering all my questions. Joe came across as competent, professional and experienced, and very customer oriented. His team that did the job were friendly and efficient and careful in ensuring that branches did not fall into the neighbour’s garden. They took all branches away with them as agreed, and tidied up the garden afterwards. Even my neighbour gave positive feedback saying they did a “very neat and careful job”. And more importantly, the shape of the trimmed back oak tree is excellent and I am a happy customer.

I had a problem with a very large red oak tree with a TPO, some evidence of disease and over hanging my neighbour's property.After acquiring planning permission to pollard the tree I obtained three quotes for the work.Joe's was the most competitive and he the most reactive. He used an impressive machine that clasped a limb and out popped a chain saw severing the branch. With a reach of 27 metres the machine reduced the red oak to the agreed size, transported the bulk timber off sited. tidied the garden. all in one day and with nothing dropping in my neighbour's garden. Joe and his teamed did an amazingly good job. He is very customer focused and quietly efficient. I thoroughly recommend him to you for your tree surgeon work. Graham Willoughby

We have just had Joe and the team back for the 3rd phase of the maintenance programme, and it was all completed to a very high standard, including a very comprehensive clean up as well. We'd highly recommend EH Arborists to anyone who may need tree work carried out in their own property. Ian and Elane Vass

Really easy to deal with! We had an unruly willow tree which was prone to wasps in the Summer. East Hants Arborists ltd came out and tamed it back whilst keeping a natural shape as requested. I'll book them in for the apple tree soon. Thanks gents.

What is site clearance and land clearance?

Professional site clearance is the critical first step in preparing a plot for development, landscaping, or sale; to clear land effectively, proper planning depends on the site conditions as well as your specific project timeline:

Prepares Plots for Construction – Removing trees, stumps, and dense scrub creates a safe, workable space for groundworks, fencing, or foundations without costly delays.

Handles Complex Vegetation – Deep-rooted bramble, invasive species, and unwanted growth require specialist machinery to strip back thoroughly and prevent quick regrowth.

Navigates Legal Constraints – Works in conservation areas, the South Downs National Park, or sites with Tree Preservation Orders must strictly follow local planning regulations. For boundary management, we also offer expert hedge cutting services.

Ensures Responsible Waste Removal – Green waste and cleared timber are processed efficiently, keeping the site clear and reducing environmental impact from the start.

Prevents Project Setbacks – Early-stage land clearing keeps your build schedule on track before main contractors, builders, or landscapers move in.

Most projects begin with an upfront check for TPOs and site regulations before any machinery arrives to guarantee a seamless clearance process.

Stump grinding and deep root removal are typically carried out immediately alongside vegetation clearance to leave the ground completely level for future works.

Do I need planning permission to clear a site?

Not always, but if there are trees on the plot they may be covered by a Tree Preservation Order, or the site may sit within a conservation area or the South Downs National Park, all of which affect what you can clear and when. We check this as part of our quote. If an application is needed, our TPO Applications service covers that too.

Can you clear a site that still has standing trees and buildings on it?

Yes. We regularly work alongside other contractors and can clear trees and vegetation while other site preparation continues, as long as access and safety zones are agreed in advance.

What happens to the wood and green waste?

We dispose of it responsibly, or chip it and leave it on site as mulch if that works better for your project. This is agreed as part of your quote.

How quickly can you start?

It depends on the size of the site and time of year, but we'll give you a realistic start date at the quote stage so it can be built into your project schedule.

Do you clear sites for private landowners as well as developers?

Yes. We clear land for builders and developers, but also for private landowners, estates and homeowners who want to prepare a property for sale, a house build or garden use, turning an overgrown plot into a blank canvas and improving its value.
